In support of passage of Berkeley Water and Sanitation District’s mill levy increase. Many of the District’s water distribution mains were installed fifty years ago and are reaching the end of their useful life. The District needs to implement a long term replacement/upgrade plan, and more aggressively address water quality and pressure issues as well as expansion of the water system. In addition, there are 40 miles of both water and sanitation main lines, manholes and fire hydrants that are in need of replacement and because some of the older sewer lines contain asbestos cement, the EPA will require the District to replace them at some point. Part of the water line strategy is to loop five main lines in the north and four minor lines in the south sides in the District in order to maintain pressure and quality throughout the District. The loops that are being installed this year will bring down money reserves tremendously. Because Berkeley is a read and bill, no revenue is received from Denver Water to maintain the water mains. Although our rates and mill levies are among the lowest in the Denver metro area, Metro Wastewater has increased their infrastructure to handle future capacity and has passed the cost on to local sewer districts. The second part of the ballot measure “de-Bruces” the tax revenue. (Enables the District to keep all tax revenue it is entitled to, all the time) This is important because when there is an economic downturn, the same mill levy brings in less revenue. TABOR doesn’t allow the District to return to “pre-downturn” revenue collection amounts if the District voters have not approved retaining all tax revenue collected. Passage of this mill levy increase gives the District’s Board of Directors, who are elected taxpaying residents of the District, the discretion and flexibility to address water distribution system maintenance, repair, replacement and upgrades in a planned and efficient manner to keep costs to all property owners in the District as low as possible.
